Preventing child sexual abuse can also reduce college assaults, rapes

College campuses are among of the most dangerous places in America for women. According to the 2014 White House Council on Women and Girls, one out of five college women are sexually assaulted and nearly one out of 10 college men are rapists.

This pervasive problem first gained national attention in 1972 with the adoption of Title IX, a civil rights law prohibiting federally funded colleges from gender discrimination, including sexual harassment and rape.
